Description

Dactinomycin (actinomycin D) was isolated from Streptomyces by Selman Waksman in 1940s. The antibiotic shows anti-cancer activity; it was approved by FDA for the treatment of different cancer conditions among which are Ewing's sarcoma, Wilm's tumor, gestational trophoblastic disease, etc. Dactinomycin exerts its action by binding to DNA (preferably to GC motif) and thus inhibiting transcription.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Wilms’ Tumor, Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma and Ewing’s Sarcoma: Regimens of 15 mcg/kg intravenously daily for five days administered in various combinations and schedules with other chemotherapeutic agents; Metastatic Nonseminomatous Testicular Cancer: 1000 mcg/m2 intravenously on Day 1 as part of a combination regimen with cyclophosphamide, bleomycin, vinblastine, and cisplatin; Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia: 12 mcg/kg intravenously daily for five days as a single agent. 500 mcg intravenously on Days 1 and 2 as part of a combination regimen with etoposide, methotrexate, folinic acid, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and cisplatin; Regional Perfusion in Locally Recurrent and Locoregional Solid Malignancies: 50 mcg (0.05 mg) per kilogram of body weight for lower extremity or pelvis, 35 mcg (0.035 mg) per kilogram of body weight for upper extremity.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Human osteosarcoma cell line MG63 were incubated with dactinomycin (actinomycin D) at final concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 5 uM during 0, 2, 6 and 24 hours. The drug was shown to inhibit the proliferation of cells by decreasing cyclin gene transcriptions.
